control and swept down toward the
river. At the docks there had been
large number of vessels. These
had however been towed out
into the stream, but non to
soon. First one pier took fire, then
another and another until four large
piers were also in flames, casting
a lurid gleam upon the waters OF
New York Bay. By this time tugs
had arrived; and they fought the
FIRE from the water; each of them
threw several streams upon burn
ing piers, and it WAS only the effort
of men on the tugs that checked the
speed of the flames, and saved the
factories and the lumber yards along
the water front. On the land side
fire had also been gotten under cons
troll, and the Office, store house and
neighboring tanks were saved. The
Standard ,eopIe estimated their loss
at about $1,0O0,000; there was no
insurance.

THE NORMAL.
The sixth day, yesterday, was the most
interesting of the session, so far. The
attendance was large. The faculty was
unusually instructive. The students were
all attentive, and notwithstanding the
very hot weather, the school is doing
prime work. The county superintendent
thinks of beginning the regular annual
examination at the first of next week
and continue to give some part of every
day until the whole course is gone
through. The teachers ofBuncombe had
better look to their interest and be on
hand, for the superintendent says he is
going to the wild shades week after next.
All be present next week.

THE COMPLAINT OF THE CITIzENs OF
Hot SPRINGS AGAINST THE RICH
MoND AND DANVILLE.

THE COMPLAINT OF THE CITIZENS OF
Hot SPRINGS AGAINST THE RICH
MoND AND DANvILLE.
A special from Washington
City Yesterday gives the following !:
"1 he complaint of citizens of
Hot Springs, N. c., against the Rich
mond & Danville r. K. Company,
alleging unjust discrimination, and
excessive passenger routes from Hot
Springs to Unaka, N. c., was heard
before the Interstate Commerce
Commissioner today. The specific
complaint in this case was, that So
cents was the fare charged from Hot
Springs to Unaka, distance of six
miles. The depositions of a num-
Der of witnesses were read in support
of the complaint. The railroad
company through their attorney de-
MED that the complaint was well
founded, and said that if there had
ever been any foundation for it, it
had been corrected before this COM
plant was made. The Richmond
& DaDville Road had sent out a
circular on the 10th of last June,
reducing the rate from Hot Springs
to UnaKa to 80 cents, but this had
not been acted upon by its connect
ing line, the E. T. Va. & Ga. Road.
Upon this statement of facts the
dificlty was virtually settled at
Headquarters to dav by the Rich.
mond & Danville Company agreeing
to refund to every person, who had
paid this 55 cent fare. the difference
between that amount and 30 cents.
The Commission holds the case un.
til informed that the agreement has
been carried out.
